Constant support from placement managers when needed to ensure work being completed is understood with general support from apprentice manager for any other queries

Lectures completed in block with support from lecturers as required via email/calls. Quarterly meetings with university liaison officer to ensure progress is being made both at university and workplace which also act as an opportunity to raise concerns.
